Happiness in a box :)

That is my definition of IKEA. For a girl who has a slight obsession with storage and organisation, IKEA is like a little piece of heaven. I have never been known to leave the place without a new addition to my storage collection...which, for a girl equally obsessed with scrapbook shopping, is not a bad thing :)

While hubby was still on holidays (which sadly ended yesterday) I "treated" him and the kids to a little expedition to IKEA, complete with Swedish meatballs for lunch! I had browsed the latest catalogue, and knew exactly what I needed for my scraproom...


...and here it is in all it's glory! It has taken me a couple of days to achieve this (and the rest of the house is still a bit of a shambles hee hee) but I now feel like I am in heaven. Look at the little details...


I had so much fun with this.

Look at the little village on top. And the ribbon and brad jars...just a bit like a candy shop, don't you think?
Guess I had better keep working on the rest of the house...sigh. I had to move quite a bit of furniture to make room for my new addition, so it is sitting around, just waiting to find a new home. It doesn't help that, once I get the spring-cleaning bug, I don't seem to know when to stop LOL!
Have a great day!

Wow your scrap area looks fantastic.
In reply to my digi pages I get my 12 x 12 printed from an online service called point shoot play. I upload which is painful (usually 5 at a time) and they turn up in the mail about 3 weeks later. I then place them in the album with my normal pages.
Due to my impatience, I sometimes print them smaller at home and then mount them on white 12 x 12 cardstock.
I got 5 back today it cost $4 for each page and $5 for postage. I touch them and play with them when they come in the mail like my normal pages.
Sorry I didnt mean to fill up your comments box with a long winded story.
